New Arcane
by Oxi Industry
New Arcane is a Forge magic mod for 1.20.1, inspired by the Arcane animated series and the League of Legends universe, that adds Hextech gems and a Hextech Workbench.
What it does
Its content centers on Hextech gems. Players first need to defeat three Withers to craft a Flawless Hextech Gem, then use it to build stable gems, which are also needed for the Hextech Tower block and the Hextech Workbench. Careful handling matters, since a plain Hextech gem can explode when thrown.
The mod is an alpha release for 1.20.1 only, first published on 2025-02-17 and last updated on 2025-05-19. The author notes say it adds only two items, so the gem system is the main addition. Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside it. New Arcane runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Hextech gems
Hextech gems are the core items, crafted through a chain that begins with a Flawless Hextech Gem.
Stable gems
Stable gems are made from Hextech gems and serve as a component for the mod's later blocks and tools.
Hextech Tower block
A Hextech Tower block is added as a placeable structure built from the gem system.
Hextech Workbench
A dedicated workbench is used to craft the mod's Hextech items, and the author describes its recipe cost as low.

Use cases
Early-game gem progression
Players who want the Hextech chain start by defeating Withers, then move through the gem stages one at a time.
Who it’s for: Players of the 1.20.1 Forge alpha who enjoy magic progression themed on the Arcane series, and server owners who want a light magic addition with a required Geckolib dependency.
How it compares
Arcane: Behind Bars is another Forge mod for 1.20.1, also client and server, under the MIT License but not open source in a shared sense. Arcane Lense covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License and is open source, and it runs on client and server as well. Arcane Heart targets 1.19.4 only, so it does not overlap with New Arcane's version.
